Cricket legend Sanath Jayasuriya said that business tycoon Dhammika Perera had called him and apologize over the remarks he had made during a TV programme.

During a recent TV programme, Dhammika Perera said Sanath Gunathilaka and Aravinda Perera were cricketers. 

A video of his remarks has gone viral on social media.

"Just received a call from Dhammika Perera to apologize to me. I told it was just a slip of the tongue and not a fault of the brain. I wished him all the best for the daunting task ahead. Let’s consider the matter closed," former cricket legend Sanath Jayasuriya posted in his facebook.

    Dhammika's first slip of the tongue before he takes his oaths before Nandasena!

    Dhammika Perera is not a cricket fan. I used to like it but not any longer.

    Nimal Saturday, 11 June 2022 05:14 PM

    Perhaps intentional just to show how humble and diplomatic he is

    Triple X Saturday, 11 June 2022 05:17 PM

    Dhammika has just begun his reconstruction program to bring Sri Lanka out of the present crisis. Hip hip hooray.

    ravin Saturday, 11 June 2022 05:42 PM

    It appears to be that you do not know much about cricket other than "gaming" on it. Rest we better be vigilant.

    You are starting your political career with an apology and you will end up your career as failed politician as our President. Even the GOD cannot help us as long as this President bow down.

    Daya samarweera Saturday, 11 June 2022 08:18 PM

    Minister of finance??????

    Bushel Saturday, 11 June 2022 08:39 PM

    Well played Sana and Dhammi. However, we insist on Mr. Perera that there should be no match-fixing while you are in office to save the biggest match..

    Johan Saturday, 11 June 2022 10:28 PM

    Normally tongue slips when someone is out of mind

    GHT Saturday, 11 June 2022 11:01 PM

    Dhammika Perera, a RACIST and not a Business Tycoon, exactly a Business TYPHOON who usually instigates COMMUNAL VIOLENCE applying his RACIST policy, therefore, he is not suitable to replace after the GENTLEMAN Hon'ble Basil Rajapaksa's sudden resignation.

    Ruvin Saturday, 11 June 2022 11:13 PM

    King Kassyapa, DS Senanayake, Sirimavo Bandaranaike, Sunil Perera, Weerapuran Appu, Sanath Jayasuriya, Dutugemunu, Malini Fonseka, Aravinda De Silva etc etc etc are great Sri Lankans who made a name in various fields and their names are etched in SL history. If you dont know these names, you have to be a Moron. Seriously....

    only Money Talk no brain.

    K.M. Keerthisinghe Monday, 13 June 2022 09:07 AM

    For the first instance to talk about Cricket, he has no right as he don't have any knowledge about sports, he knows only Jackpot and Gambling.

    Anney Jackpot Dhammi Monday, 13 June 2022 09:09 AM

    Shame of a goon without knowing about Sanath

    Elsona Monday, 13 June 2022 09:11 AM

    The whole world laughed at him the same day he had the Live TV program, what a shame - having money but no brain for this nasty jackpot fellow.

    Prof. M.K. Fernando Monday, 13 June 2022 09:15 AM

    Hay Dhammika now itself you have become a Joker for the world, even if Sanath pardons you, your name is spoilt better not to get in to politics for your own good.

    Banis Mama Monday, 13 June 2022 09:18 AM

    Tongue did not slip, believe me he is a man for boasting - without knowing anything about Cricket, he wanted to show off and he only slipped.

    Dr. E.A.R. Jayasinghe (DP's former Doctor) Monday, 13 June 2022 09:25 AM

    Well, I know him personally on business deals, he had forgotten his past and always boast about his wealth, a person on this caliber become lunatics, now you could imagine.

    CITIZEN Tuesday, 14 June 2022 11:38 AM

    His "Miracle Pana" is money. Let's see how is going to bail out SL.
